English First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 3

Vocabulary refers to the set of words that a person knows and uses. Language structures involve how these words are organized into sentences. In this lesson, we will explore new words and how to use them correctly in sentences. We will also discuss the importance of punctuation, which helps clarify meaning and makes our writing easier to read.

Let's take the word 'happy'. We can create a sentence: 'The dog is happy.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Now, let's try another word: 'play'. We can say, 'The children play in the park.' Again, we use correct punctuation. This shows how we can take a single word and create meaningful sentences.

Now, I will give you a list of words: 'sun', 'run', 'friend'. In pairs, create sentences using these words. Remember to start with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation. After a few minutes, we will share our sentences with the class. This will help us practice speaking and listening skills.

For your independent practice, write a short paragraph about your favorite animal. Use at least five new vocabulary words we learned today. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After you finish writing, read your paragraph to a partner. This will help reinforce your understanding and improve your confidence in speaking.
